幼儿园自然教育的困境与优化策略

The Dilemma and Optimization Strategy of Nature Education in Kindergartens

自然教育源远流长,有助于激发幼儿亲近自然、热爱自然、热爱生命的情感,提升幼儿欣赏自然美的能力。调查研究表明,目前幼儿园自然教育实施存在着自然环境创设弱化、教师对自然教育理解狭隘、自然教育课程开展缺乏整体性、幼儿缺乏亲近大自然机会等问题,其原因为:教师自然教育知识贫乏,幼儿园自然教育课程缺乏科学性,家、园、社协同性不足。幼儿园自然教育的有效普及、开展,尚需从以下途径入手:提高教师自然教育素养和能力;优化自然教育课程体系建设;因园制宜创设自然环境;家园社区共育,形成教育合力。

Nature education has a long history,which helps stimulate children’s feelings of being close to nature,loving nature and loving life,and improve children’s ability to appreciate the beauty of nature.The investigation shows that there are many problems in the implementation of nature education in kindergartens at present,such as the weakening of the creation of natural environment,the narrow understanding of teachers on nature education,the lack of integrity in the implementation of nature education curriculum,and the lack of opportunities for children to get close to nature.The reasons are as follows:the lack of teachers’knowledge of nature education,the lack of scientific nature education curriculum in kindergartens,and the lack of family,kindergarten,and social cooperation.The effective popularization and development of nature education in kindergartens still need to be worked on from the following ways:improve teachers’quality and ability of nature education,optimize the construction of nature education curriculum system,create a natural environment according to the park’s conditions,and cultivate together in the home and community to form an educational synergy.
